[Vibram] Vibram Disc Golf Thread (Part II)

[bballr4567]

Trust me, its ridiculous. I thought it was a huge fluke thing by the Vibram community but I seriously see why the majority love throwing the glow discs. They are just the brightest out there. Bar none. Anyone that disagrees is flat out wrong.

 

[bballr4567]

Over an hour later and the HI is still clearly legible through the FRONT of the disc. On the back and you'd be able to find it with a full moon.

For shiggles a few nights ago I laid out all my glow on my table by my bed and hit em all for a few seconds with my UV light.... Darn things were so bright I couldn't sleep. Had to throw them in my closet. Woke up the next day and peeked in there and they still had a faint glow to them.

 

[Shooter14]

This is TOTALLY off the glow subject, forgive me..

I'm basically an Innova thrower, but I wanna get into a lil Vibram! I hit about 300 with Aviars, 340 with Roc3s, 370 with Teebirds, 400 with Orcs, and 430 max with Havocs. Can anyone build me a Vibram bag??

I've got a F Ridge that I've had in my extras bin forever, just now breaking it out. Today I picked up a 174 M Trak at the local shop. I'm trying to figure out where to go next! I'm really wanting a Sole and an Ibex next. My home course isn't long enough to warrant a Vibram Driver real soon.

In the past I have putted with Magnets, and right now I'm working with McPro Aviars and Dx Aviars when it's really cold out. Could anybody make any recommendations? For reference I bag a Havoc for max D, Moonshine Bolt for tailwinds and rollers, an Orc for in between my big distance discs and my....Teebirds, carry 5 of them from fliptastic to beefcake, a glo Ch Firebird for thumbers and utility, 4 Rocs from flippy to overstable, Dx Aviar for flippy driving, Champ Aviar for stable driving, McPro for putting, and a stupid flippy Soft 150class Magnet.

That's wayyy too much info, but I'm uber excited to start throwing some Rubber!!

Thanks!

Based off your bag I would get a sole, ibex or obex really and lace then go from there.

Medium xlink is my personal favorite

Schweet. I've only thrown a Lace once and it was so flippy. I'm thinking it's cause it was a F and relatively beat. I got the Trak just cause I think, not certain, but I think they're pretty neutral to US so it'll be workable for sure. Sole next, Then Ibex I think. We'll see.

I lost my pink soft Summit with my blood on it!

But today I got two sexy new soft pink ones.

If you are getting Orcs out to 400, you might be better off with an OLace.

Agreed. Solace too.

I like to throw for D with a hyzer and let it flip up or even over sometimes and ride it out. Would a 175 M Lace or a 167-172ish M Olace work better for that?

 

[spinnin' discs]

How would the Solace compare to a just a regular Nuke? I have an elite z nuke that worked great until I beat it up and im looking for a vibram equivalent.

The lace would be more apt to do that. The o-lace would still probably hold the hyzer line if releasing it like that.

Solace is more like a Nuke OS, just with more glide.

Try an O-Lace if you're throwing the nuke 350 or more. Try a Lace if you're throwing it 350 or less.

 

[spinnin' discs]

Alright thanks. I already have an olace so ill try using it for more distance shots

 

[spinnin' discs]

Any speculation on new molds coming out in 2015 ?

 

[kutz167]

Steve has hinted at a couple things coming spring of 2015 and posted a couple pics, but nothing concrete yet. Hopefully soon there will be some good news!

I don't throw 400 but my 174 orc and a 171 med ascent fly virtually identical. I routinely drop them on top of each other on the practice field.

 

[Streets]

This has probably been covered before and I know they are pretty durable, but what is the break in life on Vibram discs? Ridges specifically. Are they a decent cycling mold?

 

[TheBMeistor]

Pretty sure you could season a Ridge into a Summit flight, just might take longer than you would like.

Forget who it is but someone in here has a Ridge that broke in that far, I would be curious as to how many thousand throws that took.......

 

[Mr. Butlertron]

I am wondering the same thing. The think Ridge can be beat into something Summit-like , but it would probably lack the same low speed glide. I'll let you know in a in a few months
